CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

Just when you think Cole Kmet is about to take over, Jimmy Graham comes out of nowhere to finish 4-69-2. Graham's had a weird year, as he's only averaging 30.1 yards per game, but has scored eight touchdowns, which is third among tight ends. He's basically a touchdown-or-bust type player, which is what he'll be in Week 17 against the Packers. In his previous matchup against Green Bay, Graham finished 3-32 on four targets.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Minnesota Vikings

Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown last week, but his role in this offense is obviously diminishing. He's playing fewer snaps than Cole Kmet, and seeing fewer targets than the rookie. Graham is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent TE in Week 15.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Houston Texans

Jimmy Graham has seen fewer snaps than Cole Kmet in each of the last three games. As a result, Graham has put up a goose egg twice in the last three games. Graham had some appeal early on in the season, but is off the fantasy radar now.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Detroit Lions

Jimmy Graham finished 3-32 on four targets last week after recording a goose egg the week prior. It's nice to see Graham back involved in the offense, but his 30.4 yards per game average isn't overly impressive. This week, Graham faces a Lions defense that has allowed the fewest total receptions to tight ends so far this season. Graham finished 3-25-1 when he faced the Lions in Week 1. He's not much more than a touchdown-dependent tight end in Week 13.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Green Bay Packers

Jimmy Graham finished with a goose egg last week (on two targets) as the Bears' offense struggled overall. This now makes three games this season below 20 receiving yards. In addition, Graham only has two games above 50 receiving yards. He's pretty reliable for around 30-40 yards and has scored a touchdown in four games. At this point, he's a touchdown-dependent fantasy option. He'll face a Packers defense that has only given up three scores to tight ends this season.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jimmy Graham caught all six of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown last week. Graham has seen five or more targets in every game Nick Foles has played in, averaging about 4.4 receptions for 37 yards in those games. Those are similar to the numbers we're projecting for Graham in Week 10, making him a low-end TE1 play against the Vikings.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Tennessee Titans

Jimmy Graham saw a healthy seven targets last week, but only finished with two receptions for 13 yards. Before this game, he was pretty consistent with his production, so we can chalk this up to him just having an off-game. We're predicting his usual 30-40-yard performance this week against the Titans, making him a low-end TE1 play.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New Orleans Saints

Jimmy Graham has been pretty consistent in games where Nick Foles has started. In the four games with Foles under center, Graham's yardage totals have been this: 33 yards, 33 yards, 34 yards, 31 yards. He's averaged 4.3 receptions in that span, which isn't terrible. He gets a favorable matchup against the Saints this week (No. 29 aFPA), but we're projecting him to finish with his typical 30-40 yards. He's in low-end TE1 territory for Week 8.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Los Angeles Rams

Jimmy Graham has become fairly consistent with his production, finishing 4-33, 3-33-1 and 5-34 in his last three games, respectively. While these aren't Travis Kelce like numbers, they are at least something, and they are consistent. And with tight end being such a shallow position, this gives Graham some value as a low-end TE1 play. He faces a Rams defense that let George Kittle run wild (7-109-1) a week ago. Graham isn't quite the talent of Kittle at this stage in his career, but the matchup at least puts Graham in TE1 territory.

CHI TE Jimmy Graham - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Carolina Panthers

Jimmy Graham is far from his days where he was a dominating tight end, but he's found a solid role in Chicago this season. He's the No. 5 scoring tight end in fantasy so far thanks to his four touchdown receptions. However, Graham has also finished below 35 receiving yards in all but one game. In other words, he's a touchdown-dependent tight end, who just happens to score a lot. This week he faces a Panthers defense that's allowed just one touchdown to a tight end this season. Graham is a boom-or-bust low-end TE1 play in Week 6.
